An ozone hole is formed when the amount of ozone in the upper atmosphere gets depleted to dangerously low levels. Normally, Chlorofluorocarbons, or CFC's, are responsible for this. In sunlight, CFC's form chlorine radicals which react with Ozone to produce Oxygen gas. If XCl is a CFC, the steps in which reactions proceed are:
In sunlight in the upper atmosphere: XCl ------> X + Cl
Cl is the chlorine radical, which is extremely reactive.
Cl + O3 -----> O2 + ClO
ClO is another radical, which is also extremely reactive.
ClO + O3 -----> Cl + 2O2
As you can see, the Chlorine radical, Cl, is produced again at the last step, allowing it to repeat the steps again and again. In fact, it is estimated that each Chlorine atom can react with up to 200,000 ozone molecules, before decaying.

How can I make ozone oil at home?
To make ozone oil at home, you will need an ozone generator and a carrier oil such as olive oil or coconut oil. Place the carrier oil in a glass container and then introduce ozone from the generator into the oil. Allow the oil to infuse with ozone for a specific amount of time, typically around 24-48 hours. Make sure to follow safety precautions when using ozone generators.
How chloride changes ozone to bad ozone?
There is no "good" or "bad" ozone. All ozone is O3. Ozone in the stratosphere protects us from ultraviolet radiation. Chlorine in the stratosphere interacts with the ozone there to convert it to O2 or normal oxygen, removing its ability to interact with UV. Ozone in the troposphere (ground level air) or the workplace is an air pollutant. Chlorine as no role in its formation or destruction.
How many molecules of ozone can you make from 6 atoms of oxygen?
Ozone molecule has 3 atoms of oxygen and its Symbol is O3.
What is the number of atoms in ozone?
There are three atoms in an ozone molecule: one oxygen atom in the center and two oxygen atoms on the sides.
Why is the ozone deteriorating?
The ozone layer is diminishing because of the excessive use of ozone depleting substances by the humans. These ODS contain chemicals which react with the ozone in the ozone layer and deplete it.
How does the hole in the ozone layer make the poliution worse?
The ozone hole leads to global warming. This then leads to worse pollution.
What is the name of the hole in the ozone?
The name of the hole is ozone hole. It is the thinning of ozone layer.
How do you plan to fix the ozone hole?
We can each make individual efforts to reduce the ozone hole. It can be done by stopping the use of CFC's.
How do you be careful not to have a big hole the ozone layer?
We have to be cautious not to have a big ozone hole. It is because it will make UV radiation enter the earth.
Why is there a ozone hole?
Ozone hole is the thinning of ozone layer. It is due to ODS.
What is the term ozone hole?
a hole in the ozone layer.
How big was the ozone before it got its hole?
In the fall and spring, ozone covers the entire planet. When it is winter at one of the poles, an ozone hole forms since there is no UV-C from the Sun to make more ozone.
How useful was the Antarctic ozone hole?
The Antarctic ozone hole is not useful. It was harmful.
How they descoverd ozone hole?
Ozone hole was discovered by Joseph Farman. He discovered the ozone hole over Antarctica.
In 1985 a hole in the ...was discovered over Antarctica.?
yes, and it was the "antarctic ozone hole"ozone layer
Why can't you just fill in the ozone hole with man made ozone?
The ozone hole isn't the problem. The means for us to develop the energy used to make ozone to fill the hole is the problem. We put too much waste heat, too much water vapor into the atmosphere, and this depletes ozone.
What gases contribute to the hole in the ozone?
CFC's contribute to ozone hole. They react with the ozone.
